Thomas Edward Dawkins (born April 1987),[2] better known by his ring name Cara Noir, is an English professional wrestler, best known for his work on the British independent circuit.

His character has been described as the black swan of professional wrestling,[3] and is noted for his distinctive moveset, owing to previous involvement in ballet, dance, and mixed martial arts.

[4] Following minimal success under his birth name and other pseudonyms, a conversation with Chris Brookes saw him develop the character of Cara Noir, which he debuted in January 2017.

[3] Initially a heel, he quickly became a face, largely due in part to his elaborate entrance in which he comes out to the famous pas de trois as used in the revival of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.

[12] In January 2020, Noir appeared in Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw), confronting Marius Al-Ani, and confirming his participation in the promotion's annual 16 Carat Gold tournament.
